According to the experts at Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital's Anorectal Center, Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to anal fissures as "[anal fissure sores]", "[split hemorrhoids]", and "[hook anus hemorrhoids]". By its name, it implies a split in the anal region. This kind of split mostly occurs in the front or back central part of the anus. Anal fissures are generally divided into early-stage fissures and chronic fissures. Constipation is both a cause and a symptom of anal fissures. The main clinical manifestations include:
1. Bleeding: During bowel movements, bleeding can occur due to the tearing of the wound. The blood is bright red, not too much, in drops, and stops naturally after defecation ends.
2. Tightness: Dry feces are hard to pass through the anus, which is because repeated tearing deepens the anal fissure, leading to non-healing wounds. Fibrous tissue under the wound increases and forms scars, causing constipation [http://www.jsgcw.com/bianmibingyi/2011/1001/15082.html]. This restricts the dilation degree of the anus, making it tighter. In clinical practice, patients often say their anus has "shrunk." When we examine patients, we also find that their anus is contracted. Even during a digital examination after anesthesia, there is still a feeling of tightness.
3. Pain: Pain is the main symptom of an anal fissure. It is extremely severe and unbearable, like being torn or cut by a knife, especially after passing dry stools. Besides the severity, the pain from an anal fissure also has cyclical and intermittent characteristics. During bowel movements, the initial dry feces expand the anus, and the fissure is torn, causing intense pain. After a few minutes, the pain eases. After a short period of relief, the severe pain returns due to the contraction spasm of the anal sphincter muscle [http://www.wjgc.net/zzcx/gmss/bx/], which can last for several hours to over ten hours until the anal sphincter relaxes, and the pain disappears.
This process of defecation - pain - relief - long-term pain is a unique feature of anal fissures, becoming more obvious with longer disease duration. Because patients fear the pain, they develop a fear of defecation and try to prolong the interval between bowel movements to reduce pain. However, this approach is counterproductive. The longer the interval, the drier the feces, causing more severe tearing of the fissure, leading to even more intense pain and forming a vicious cycle. This cyclical pain with every bowel movement is also a characteristic of anal fissure pain.
Experts at Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital's Anorectal Center remind people that if you discover you have an anal fissure or fistula, you should seek treatment at a professional and legitimate hospital promptly. Early-stage anal fissures can be cured with conservative treatment, while chronic fissures may require surgery. Besides surgery, attention should be paid to postoperative diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting adequate rest.
